I think that acute death from THC is a rare phenomena, unlikely to occur, except when concentrates are used.
With 80 to 100% THC available, it is possible to get enough into your system quick enough to do it. Concentrates are a whole new ball game, as compared to the experiences with low potency marijuana of decades past.
I think it would be prohibitively expensive for most people buying retail, but folks in the business, or otherwise wealthy, might indulge in dangerous dosages, if they are led to believe that it is absolutely harmless at any dosage. It is not.
I think one big mouthful of pure THC oil will put the average person's life at risk.
"in all the years when I was out there drinking and doing drugs no one I ever knew ‘’shot up’’ weed"
But the pure concentrates were not available to try it. Did you ever come across people who would try risky things, like eating pills they could not identify, or injecting solutions made from the contents of drug capsules? Hard core drug users often engage in such reckless experiments - even just buying black market drugs, you can't be sure of what you are getting.
Given the availability of potent concentrates, might there be some segment of the population who would find a way to administer themselves very high doses, either inhaling or injecting?
